I was told by the glass shop that the only way to seal the windshield properly was to replace it due to the fact that the windshields now are glued in and the glue is what seals them. I took the truck to a local glass shop and had some sealer put on the top rim of the windshield to try and stop the leak. I got in the truck the next day after the rain stopped and it started without a problem. I turned the key to the start position and nothing happened. I also had a problem starting the truck in the rain. I ran the heat in the truck for a few hours to dry it out and it seemed to temporarily cure the lighting problem. I had to disconnect the battery to get the lights to turn off. At the same time, some of the dash indicator lights were on very dim. I have had the interior lights come on with no one in or near the truck. The leak returned and during some heavy rain storms I have had chronic electrical problems due to water leaking in the windshield and running down behind the dashboard and getting into the electrical components.

It seems that Ford is doing recalls for everything else why not the problem with the windshield leaking this is the website that I found that other Ford truck owners are having the same problem and it is costing them alot of money to get the problem repaired at their expense.

One incident, I reported, occurred after backing up a rv in a campsite after just driving over 150 miles on the interstate highway. I have also reported problems with brake lines on this truck rusting out. Something must be done to require manufactures to use better material for pickup truck frames and brake lines. If you care to see them please send an E-mail address and I'll attach them to a E-mail. I believe if the frame member would fail the transmission would drop down. The vehicle has been operated in warwick NY since new and in northeastern pa since 2007. I was lucky after a long search to find a dealer which still had the part available. Ford no longer manufactures the frame member. State safety inspection rep indicated it would not pass inspection in the near future.
